NEW POTATO & TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Boil potatoes for 15 mins or until tender. Drain and cool under cold water. Meanwhile, make the dressing by mashing anchovies with the mayonnaise. Add the white wine vinegar or lemon juice and season to taste with black pepper. Tear the leaves from the lettuce into a large bowl. Chop spring onions and tip them in. Slice the potatoes and add to the bowl, then drain the tuna and flake into the bowl. Drizzle the dressing over and serve.

WARM POTATO SALAD WITH TUNA AND BACON

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a medium saucepot and add enough cold water to cover by at least 2 inches. Add a large handful of salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until tender and pierces easily when you insert a paring knife, 10 to 15 minutes.
• While the potatoes cook, heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, flipping occasionally, until golden and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate then cut crosswise 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
• To make the dressing combine the oil, vinegar, both mustards, some pepper and a large
• pinch of salt in a small bowl. Whisk together and taste for seasoning.
• Once the potatoes have cooked, drain and carefully--they'll be hot--cut in half. Place in a large
• bowl and add the bacon. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and bacon and toss. Let sit for a few minutes so the flavors can absorb. Add the chives.
• Break the tuna into large chunks directly into the potato salad. Gently toss with a silicone spatula just to mix through, keeping the tuna in large chunks.
• Scoop into a shallow bowl or platter, garnish with more chives, black pepper and the chive blossoms, if using. Serve warm.

SEARED TUNA WITH THE BEST POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• For the potato salad: Cook the potatoes, and while still warm, add the capers and a good squeeze of the lemon. Add the oil, and toss in the red onion and celery heart and season carefully with salt and pepper.
• Lay out your tuna steaks on a tray and season with salt and pepper. I prefer to cook it on one of those ridged grill pans or in a frying pan. Rub your pan, which should be very, very hot, with a little bit of olive oil on a piece of kitchen paper, then put in the tuna. What you want to do is sear the tuna so that it toasts, fries, and browns, about 45 to 60 seconds on each side. Once cooked, I like to rip the steaks in half and place them on top of the potato salad. Smash or pound up the basil in a mortar and pestle. Add a good glug of olive oil with a squeeze of lemon, and spoon this over each tuna steak.

Spoon into potato shells. Sprinkle with cheese. Place on a baking sheet. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat until cheese is melted, 5-6 minutes.
